Vulnerable Populations Contributing Measures
These measures reflect data as of Q1-24.
Homemaker Services program: provides disabled/low-income seniors routine housekeeping services.
75% clients in home annually.
The Homemaker Services Program has a new program supervisor who has been able to identify and fill gaps in staff schedules. However, many clients do not want to take the 8AM slot and would prefer to wait instead.
Additionally, a handful of clients have not returned their income verification which was sent out in January 2024. If they do not return this by the end of April they will not be eligible to stay on the program. This will open a few more spots for those on the waiting list.
This measure will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure.
Veterans Services Office –Assists Arapahoe County veterans and their dependents in obtaining eligible VA benefits, state veteran benefits, and appropriate community resources.
1,500 veterans/families receiving secondary contacts from the Veterans Service Office.
The Veteran Services Office is achieving well above the target for Q1 2024. The supervisor was able to clear out previous staff decision reviews from 2023 as well resulting in the data showing point in time accuracy when they are approved.
This measure component will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure.
Pretrial Services Navigator program – assists individuals with behavioral health disorders currently involved with the Arapahoe County Courts navigate the justice and public benefits systems.
80% successful termination rate.
In Q1 of 2024, the successful termination rate was 88.24%. This rate is greater than the target resulting in a green status for this measure component. This measure will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure.
This measure gauges the ability of the Arapahoe County to make state-required monthly contact with clients who have open cases.
At least 95% of monthly contacts are made within the state-required timeframe of 35 days.
Please note this measure component is reported 1 quarter in arears. In Q4 2023, APS met Timely Contacts in all three months. ACDHS reviews this measure monthly and examines cases where there is a late contact.
This measure will contribute 1.0 point to the overall Vulnerable Populations measure.
Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office - provides mental health services to current inmates within the Arapahoe County detention system.
Q1 2024, the fully staffed licensed mental health professionals at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility contacted 4,548 patients per month. Being fully staffed allows for a better and more efficient delivery of services.
The delivery of quality Mental Health services is a priority to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility, and we will continue to evaluate best practices that will enhance the delivery of services to this high-risk patient population.
The psychiatrist is no longer part of the on-site mental health team. However, we do still have a psych provider and the availability of tele-psych. Our medical vendor is actively trying to recruit for a psychiatrist and hopefully we will be able to fill this position in the near future.
